On Page 2 of The Herald News on April 16, tucked away in an obscure part of the page was the fact that Foxwoods losing money.

Why wasn’t this on page one so all could see what is going on with casinos? Not only do they “honestly” wish away money from the “suppliers” (the people) but completely re-make nice neighborhoods into slums. For instance, look at the outskirts of Ledyard, Conn., and those Atlantic City neighborhoods that encircle the casinos.

Why did they put a city dump in the South End many years ago (Tucker Street)?

Why did they completely take away the only natural beach, Sandy Beach, and in its place put a sewage disposal plant — again, in the South End?

How well we all remember the gallant fight of the great city councilor Mrs. Evangeline Healy with the city, but to no avail. Same story, stick it in the South End, nobody cares about it.

Why the New Harbour Mall site? Why has there not been more protest from the people in the South End, including Maplewood?

This “coming event” brings back a story of many strong proud people in the adjacent town of Tiverton, who years ago fought a gallant fight opposing a huge refinery. Yes, they all heard the same story — jobs, jobs, etc. They were not fooled one bit. Congratulations to those people who had vision, with foresight to their future.

I may not live in Fall River any longer but I guess my heart is still there. Awaken you South Enders. Save your neighborhoods. Vote No!
